I remember when people that didn't want to drive themselves in their own car hired a chauffeur to drive for them.......
I remember when people enjoyed driving and didn’t need a top to bottom of dash touchscreen to entertain and distract themselves with in cars. Complete with a doodle pad, even... LOL. Everybody needs a car with a doodle pad that has cellular connectivity to send that crap to someone else in email, right? Hahaha.
But then again, most of the vehicles coming out these days all look and drive alike, and the suburban drones mostly got excited about Tesla because they’re different from the CAFE mandated drone purchased, cloned bubble cars.
And even Ford has now given up on those. Why build them when Korea will? Can’t make money competing with that.
Might as well build bubble SUVs for the older crowd willing to go WAY further into debt, and pickup trucks. More margin.
We were walking along a row of modern SUVs in the parking lot at the grocery store today. Jeep Grand Cherokee, Acura whatever-ending-in-X, Audi something-or-other, and three or four other brand names. Nissan and Dodge were also represented for sure. They were parked perfectly in a line in their spots.
You couldn’t tell other than by taillight LED layout which one was which. No wonder nobody can remember the names of the stupid things. Boooooooooring AF.
And yes, even the Ford... it had SLIGHTLY squared off bends which look like their signature corners so you could almost tell it was a Ford.
I know if you lined them up and said “Which one do you want to drive?” I’d yawn and take whatever key was on top of the pile. That’s for sure.
